Very Computer

Im running Solaris 5.8 and keep get Max Clients reached.  I have to close
windows or app's before I can continue.  Isnt there a setting in /etc that
will increase the numbers of clients?  How do I fix this?

Thanks

Rick

For the X server, you add "-clients 1024" to the Xsun command line
(normally in /etc/dt/config/Xservers - copy it from
/usr/dt/config/Xservers if it doesn't exist).  1024 is the default
on S9 and later.  (No other values are valid besides the S8 default of
128 and 1024.)

Are you using GNOME?  If so, the below should be in the docs...
Furthermore, specify your memory, swap, as more info. as possible so
others can assist.

For the Solaris 8 OE, the number of shared memory segments must be at
least 256, or 100 hexadecimal. If this parameter is not set, or is set
to less than 256, then the Install Wizard notifies you during the
installation that you must set this parameter. Perform the following
steps to set this parameter:

Add the following line to the /etc/system file:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg = 0x100

Reboot the system.

For more information about the system file, use the following command
to view the relevant manpage:

man -s4 system

Xsun -clients 1024 (set in /etc/dt/config/Xservers)
